Thank You Kobe

The sports world lost a great athlete, ambassador and person. Still can't believe this tragic news. Growing up he was one of my favourite players and when he entered the league it was almost like a passing of the torch from Jordan to Kobe. But Kobe became his own type of player and defined his own greatness with all his accomplishments. During the 2016 NBA All-Star game I was able to produce this illustration of Mr. Bryant. 2016 also marked his last year in the league, this creative was used on NBA Social media during his final games. It is truly sad that his story comes to an end in this tragic way, passing with his daughter, but his influence is forever imprinted on a generation of athletes and the game of basketball. Legends Never Die. Rest in Power Kobe! #ripkobe #thankyoukobe #24 #8 #blackmamba
